This fun workshop will be lead by one of The Hutong’s founding partners, Mark Thirlwell. The class begins with participants learning to brew teas with their own teaware provided by Tea Journeys:  http://teajourneys.com.au/product/gongfu-tea-set/ each set will be given as a take home gift for every student.

These sets been designed and produced by Tea Journeys with the etching inspired by a tattoo inscribed across the back and shoulders of one local ethnic Chinese in Xishuangbana, from where Tea Journeys sources speciality teas to bring to Australia.

Each participant of this once-only course will be first tasting teas as a traditional beverage. We will then be using these same teas to create 3 different unique cocktails for students to prepare and taste.

The workshop will include full tasting notes and recipe lists for all cocktails as well as a FULL Gongfu Tea Set and single sampler pack of teas to take home for own use or boxed as a gift if you prefer.

The Gongfu Tea Set has a retail value of just under 300 RMB alone!

• Kama Chai
• Dianhong Dragon
• Small Island Iced Tea

Currently on a mission to take The Hutong to new places, Mark does have a loud voice and too often speaks over the top of any unsuspecting passers-by.

· Treats all Hutong colleagues like they were born to love Chinese tea as much as he does.
